He was betrayed at the beginning, from a cake seller to a wealthy person

After talking about the important people, General Yuan suddenly thought of something and turned to Lu Yan: "There is something, that is the vegetable they dug from the mountain, which looks like a radish. They dug it again this time during the mountain patrol. You keep it. You can go to the military camp tomorrow and have a look."

Lu Yan was overjoyed, and they set a time to go to the military camp tomorrow.

Lu Sheng and Lu Yan were taken into the military camp early the next morning, and General Yuan was already waiting for them.

General Yuan led the two men and said as they walked: "The severity of the injuries of my wounded soldiers is different, and the work they are asked to do now is also different. The less serious ones are responsible for cooking, washing clothes, helping to prepare medicines, etc. , Not only did I not go out with him for training, but what was even more serious was that I was in a difficult position in the wounded camp.”

"They have followed me for so many years, and many of them have lost contact with their families. I paid a large sum of money to those who could go home, and the rest cannot be contacted. I let them go out on their own. Don’t worry, it’s better to stay in the military camp and have your comrades look after you.”

Lu Yan asked curiously: "How many wounded soldiers are there who are not working now?"

General Yuan thought for a while: "There are about forty of them."

Lu Yan nodded. If all these forty people could be removed, a lot of problems would indeed be solved.

As they spoke, they walked to the wounded barracks. The man who came out to greet him was a gentle-looking man, dressed as a scholar and wearing a long robe. He looked quite young, in his twenties, but half of his right arm was missing and the right cuff was empty.

The man saluted General Yuan, and General Yuan pointed to Lu Sheng and introduced him: "This is the newly appointed Magistrate Lu of Liaoyang County."

Then he turned to Lu Sheng and introduced him to Lu Yan: "This is Nie Li, Nie Wenshu. He turned out to be the deputy of our military advisor. After he injured his right hand, he came to be responsible for the management of the wounded barracks. He usually teaches these big bosses how to read and count. What."

Lu Yan's eyes lit up when she heard this. Doesn't this mean he is educated and has experience as a grassroots cadre? She can't let him go.

Nie Li and Lu Sheng greeted each other and led a few people inside. The wounded barracks occupies a large area and has a lot of people. You can always see some mutilated people walking through it. Some are missing arms, some are lame, and some are simply sitting in wheelchairs and being pushed.

When each of them saw Nie Li, they would nod and continue to do their own things.

Lu Sheng asked thoughtfully, "How many of these people are literate?"

Nie Li explained: "I thought that they couldn't stay in the military camp all their lives. If they went out, they wouldn't be able to survive without any skills, so I have been teaching them to read and write. Most people here can still write commonly used characters. "

Lu Sheng nodded with satisfaction, that would be great.

Lu Yan was also very satisfied and asked General Yuan directly: "Can I just take away the entire wounded barracks? It's only 40 people."

General Yuan laughed: "As long as they are willing to go with you, you can take as many as you want with you."

Lu Yan turned to Nie Li and explained her purpose: "We are here this time because Liaoyang County is really short of people. We have to farm, build houses, hunt, and make things. Lu Sheng Yamen is also short of people, so we come here." I want to ask General Yuan to recruit some people. I want to take the entire wounded barracks with me and go back to Liaoyang County to allocate work to each of them according to what they are good at. We will pay them on a monthly basis. I need you to help us ask if they are willing. Willing to go.”

Nie Li nodded: "It would be great to have a job to do. I'll ask them."

Nie Li walked to a corner, picked up the gong on the ground, and struck it three times. Several people explained: "Three strikes of the gong means an emergency gathering in the courtyard. They will all be here soon." ”

A few people stood in the middle of the yard, and soon the soldiers came over one after another. They were a little confused when they saw that General Yuan and Nie Wenwen had arrived, and they brought two strangers with them.

Nie Li looked at the people who had almost arrived, patted them and said, "I've seen enough, so let me start talking. If anyone is not around and I have made friends with him, let him know."

Nie Li gestured to Lu Sheng: "This is the newly appointed Lu County Magistrate of our Liaoyang County. As you brothers should know, Liaoyang County has been short of people for more than a day or two, so he hopes that we can go to Liaoyang County together. Help me with the work.”

Nie Li looked at Lu Sheng, who continued: "That's it, when all the soldiers arrive in Liaoyang County, I will allocate work according to what you are good at, and I will not treat you badly. Food and accommodation will be provided every month. For a salary of three denarii, one can rest for ten days.”

This wage was roughly calculated by Lu Sheng using the wages of short-term workers. It was basically 100 cents a day, not too much or too little.

After hearing this, the soldiers looked at each other with hesitation and said nothing.

Lu Sheng thought that everyone was not satisfied with the wages, and added: "I know that the wages are not high, mainly because you all know how tight Liaozhou is now. When Liaozhou develops, I promise to give you a monthly increase." money."

The soldiers still hesitated, and finally one of them couldn't help but stood up and spoke: "We didn't mean that, Mr. Lu. Three coins of silver including food and accommodation is already a luxury for us. We know who we are. If we go out to find a living like this, no one will want us.”

Another soldier continued: "Yes, what we are hesitating about is can we really help you? One of us is considered a useless person. Is there really any place for us to contribute?"

Lu Sheng and Lu Yan both breathed a sigh of relief. It turns out that they were not unwilling to go, but they were worried about it.

"Of course. You don't know how much people are lacking in Liaoyang County." Lu Yan said, "I don't want you to help me do business. I don't care if you look disabled. Don't worry, there are plenty of jobs you can do. If you Do you think it's too hard for two people to do it? Isn't it just a matter of pushing the one without a leg? At the worst, I plan to train a group of doctors. You can also learn from Tu Jun's medicine. As a doctor's apprentice, I will ask Dr. Tu to come over."

Lu Yan turned to look at General Yuan: "Can you give me Dr. Tu?"

General Yuan smiled and nodded: "Give, give."

The soldiers were moved and their expressions began to loosen. They really want to find something to do to prove that they are not useless. Ever since they were injured, they have been being cared for by the military. They themselves feel uncomfortable, but their families are gone, and they don't know where to go if they're not in the military camp.

Since Magistrate Lu is willing to give them such an opportunity, they are also willing to try it.

So all the forty-two soldiers were willing to go to Liaoyang County, and the matter was settled.
